Washington, July 8: In a first, a new study has corroborated statistically what many ornithologists have long suspected, that most birds fly in flocks even at night.

Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Bangladesh Agriculture University, Chittagong Veterinary University, Department of Livestock Service and Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) jointly conducted the study from February to June this year.
